Unfortunately the lack of 6th gear doesn't help and the way it is geared but your revs are right for a petrol ZS. You wouldn't believe it but me old 1.6 Clio was spinning even faster at motorway speeds than the Fiesta does.

Odd question but what RPM are you pulling in your Zetec S at 70, 80 and 90mph?

I remember it was about 3000 at 70mph on my petrol? I cant remember any higher im afraid but your revs dont sound too dissimaliar to what mine was like at that speed too :) if anything, i would only go as far as to say that it might have been a couple of hundred revs lower.

It really needs a six speed. I heard the ZS gear box was different to the metal's, is this true?

On a side note other than the BHP is there any difference between ZS and Metal (S1600)

Nice job on your ZS by the way. Your specs look great. I had the red interior lighting on my Titanium. How easy is it to add?

Very easy, you have bulb holders under the passenger and driver foot-wells, just plug bulbs in. Although some aren't wired up so it's just a case of luck really. I haven't done the ambient lighting as of yet, not sure if I will if honest but may look in to it.
